October meetings:
2 Sat 12N-3P, at UCB & IRC & VOIP online
11 Mon 5-6P, IRC & VOIP online
17 Sun 12N-3P, at UCB & IRC & VOIP online
26 Tue 5-6P, IRC & VOIP online
Location TBD for in person meetings - I've been too busy to determine a
location. I know I'd prefer it to be in Soda or Cory hall. Perhaps
Soda hall 3rd floor lobby this time. Perhaps I'll ask HKN or CSUA
members if they are interested in attending the FreeSW meetings, & see
if anyone who is might like to sponsor it to be at the HKN or CSUA
office.
So, for this month, email me if you'd like to get together near Soda or
Cory, & we'll arrange something to our liking.
Please RSVP to me or the list if you think you'll come to an in person
meeting. Not necessary, but helps my planning.
Join in online (IRC & VOIP) if you can't attend in person. :)
==
I'm so overloaded with things to do, I'm behind in several BTIP areas.
:(
I just do what I can make some time to do. :)
I think I'm gonna be very short on time through at least January 2011.
So, this fall, I'm probably gonna not be putting together the monthly
talk videos list. There is an opportunity for _you_, dear reader. :)
Just let me know if you'd like to find the videos & list them. :)
I might also not:
get announcements out to local or global mailing lists.
I'm hoping I'll have time to make email announcements to UCB student
groups.
I _am_ planning to make an announcement in a few computer classes.
Posters Fall 2010? Who knows if _I_'ll have time.
==
Hot topics:
1) Ubuntu 10.10 out this month. What new important stuff will U & KU
have? Will KU have the network-manager & pulse-audio gnome stuff
working?! I hope so.!
2) The KUbuntu (idiots) filter/moderate their mailing list. I'm back
being moderated again. (!). One moderator says they will put a post of
mine through if I re-write it for clarity! - Folks, it is an email list
post, not a phd thesis. I am seriously thinking the KUbuntu leadership
is autistic/aspergeric. I wrote an outline of an email to the KU-dev
list, but doubt I'll have time to work it into proper shape to send it.
- I really think the KUbu leadership is not all it could be. But, then,
that's volunteer contribution, so one takes what one gets. ;)
3) How about a BTIP HW Project: iPod touch that runs free sw? Maybe
the EE's & ME's & CS's would be interested? Would _you_ care to assist
in the design?
4) Anyone care to do VOIP improvements, or put a web server, or email
list server, on the BTIP box?
What are _your_ hot topics?
==
Join in in person, or online. :)

For VOIP, try the BTIP box server, since the Darkvoip service (which hasalso phone dial in) is likely no longer available.

We can also try skype.

Hot topics:Planning for Fall 10 outreach, posters, announcements in classes.- anyone want to help update/edit/improve posters (links found at bottomof main btip website)What goals should we have for this fall, & spring 11?Hardware hacking - android, make an ipod touch like android design?What are the +'s & -'s of the available android phones for MetroPCS?(Sprint phones can be used).Anti-spam sw for CSUA servers?BTIP server will need a new home sometime this semester, who might liketo host it?I'm told one of our members did a Google summer of code project. Tellus on this list, or in person, what you did. :)- IIRC, it was KDE related, so I _especially_ would like to hear aboutit. :\) [that \ was a typo, but it looks interesting. What does itmean?]

What are _your_ hot topics?

Outreach from BTIP to some other topic groups this semester:FreeCulture, Drupal, SciPy, Ruby.Any other topic groups on campus we should contact?I'll also try to (eventually, when I have time) contact CSUA, IEEE, HKN,TBPi, SWE

It would also be good to try to reach some:Bio, BioEng, Business, Law groups. Anyone have any groupnames/suggestions? Contacts?

Anyone want to help with in class BTIP 3 minute announcements?Maybe the CS61 series of classes, CS10, & intro EE classes: 1, 20,40,42?We should try to do that before the next in person meeting, Sat Oct 3,12N-3P.What other classes should we try to make an announcement in?

Hot topics: Community Leadership Summit review of interesting sessions, Spring 2010 efforts for UCB & all UC's & all college activities, Upcoming KDE conference end of next week, for 1 week, in Los Angeles.

What do _you_ want to discuss?

==Some people have asked for an evening meeting, because: a) they can't make weekend meetings, b) they want more BTIP. ;)

So, this will be a test, everyone invited, to see if we can make this work.

== Berkeley meeting LOCATION: Watch the website & mail list for latestdetails, perhaps at the Berkeley Public Library, or a cafe, due to FreeSpeech Cafe closed for winter break.http://sites.google.com/site/berkeleytip/

We need suggestions for where to meet. My #1 preference would be arather public place with people around, like a wifi cafe. Needs to havevoip quality inet!!! What wifi cafe near campus do you recommend?

Maybe also some UCB campus building, Soda, Cory, etc, but this is theday after finals, & open places will be closed. But, people are inSoda, Cory, etc. So, maybe just a room in some building - but, not sogood cause not as pleasant as with many people around.

Also, I'll ask our server box host if he'd be willing to have themeeting at his office. Then we could work on freeswitch VOIP stuff withthe box right there. Jack - would that be a doable option?

Less good cause not a lot of people around, & also I don't know if wecan reserve it yet, is the room at the Berk city public main library,which we used last January. But, the wifi was fine for voip.

It would be preferable to keep discussion about the meeting location onthe local berkeley BTIP mailing list, BerkTIP at (youknowwhere), but youcan also send email to the global list, if you wish.

So, we'll have the online meeting for sure, for anyone who wants to get together. :)But, I will be too busy, & given the homecoming opportunities, which I suggest people persue over BTIP this Saturday, we will pass on the local meeting at the FSCafe.

We'll get back to the FSC local meeting on our next scheduled date: October 18. :)

Below are just a few of the talks at the Berkeley homecoming. Some relevant to BTIP's free sw hw or culture. :)

I encourage everyone to make time for one of these only once per year, free & freedom events. :) There are many other days we can spend time on BTIP activities. :)

The well-known saying, “Sticks and stones can break my bones, but words can never hurt me,” seems to have lost its meaning. Marketing strategists, political campaign managers, and media representatives remind us daily of the power of words to inflict pain and construct symbolic worlds that are just as real as those made of sticks and stones. We will discuss key aspects of the symbolic power of language using examples from everyday life, including classrooms and boardrooms. Sponsored by the College of Letters & Science.

11 a.m. - noon The Ugly LawsSpeaker: Susan Schweik, Professor of English and Co-Director of UCB's Disability Studies Program

Barrows Hall Lipman Room

This seminar will discuss issues surrounding an American law that prohibited "any person who is diseased, maimed, or deformed so as to be an unsightly or disgusting object" from "exposing him or herself to public view."

Hear about three projects that demonstrate the extraordinary commitment of Berkeley students to reshape our world through public service. Catalani worked with residents from a poor community in New Orleans to produce videos that share their stories of devastation and resilience following Hurricane Katrina. Seigel-Boettner distributed custom-built cargo bikes to coffee growers in Rwanda through a micro-loan system. Stachel employs renewable energy technology in rural Nigerian hospitals to improve lighting, medical, and communication equipment and reduce high maternal mortality rates. This seminar is part of the CALIFORNIA Live! series sponsored by the California Alumni Association.

The functions of sleep remain largely unknown, a surprising fact given the vast amount of time it takes from our lives. Explore new evidence, featured in a 2008 episode of CBS's "60 Minutes," that suggests sleep may enhance our memories by remodeling our brains and rebalance our emotional brain reactivity, preparing us for next-day social and psychological challenges. Sponsored by the College of Letters & Science.

What do cave art and other expressions of Europe's Ice Age peoples tell us about human imagination and cultural sensibilities from this 25,000-year-long tradition? Spirituality, shamanism, memorializing practices, and cultural performances, as well as humans' relationship with animals, all inform current understandings. We will also discuss the state of preservation and challenges for cave art. Sponsored by the College of Letters & Science.

What makes UC Berkeley “public,” and what opportunities and responsibilities does this entail for our students, families, alumni, and faculty? Explore the unrivaled power and privileges that come with public institutions of learning. As the No. 1 public university in the world, Berkeley is uniquely positioned to ignite the potential of public learning, knowledge, and change within -- and far beyond -- our campus. Sponsored by the Graduate School of Education.

Never has strategically managing your career been more important than in these uncertain economic times. Learn from a panel of experts, many of whom are Haas alumni, on how to identify a viable new career path, attain professional goals, and maximize your unique skills and experiences. Whether you want to progress within your organization, change jobs or industries, or work with recruiters, this session will offer practical tips on effectively guiding your career path. Sponsored by the Haas School of Business.

Central to the success of corporate and non-profit enterprises alike, innovation is, indeed, a critical driver of the economic welfare of nations. No enterprise innovates alone, and innovation also comes in many forms, including new products, processes, organizational structures, and business models. Professor Katz will discuss the Haas School’s innovation eco-system and what it is doing to help other organizations improve their ability to innovate in a variety of ways. Sponsored by the Haas School of Business.

Can we slow aging and prevent age-related diseases? This seminar will explore the latest development on how genetic factors and diet regulate the aging process, and how small molecules are designed to prevent age-related diseases. Taking a pill a day to slow aging may not be a fairy tale after all. Sponsored by the College of Natural Resources.

1 - 2 p.m. The Future Is Not What It Used to BeSpeaker: Ken Jowitt, Professor Emeritus of Political Science

Stanley Hall 105

In Common Sense, Thomas Paine made a ringing declaration: "We (Americans) have it in our power to make the world over again." This messianic element in American political culture has been manifested and contested at regular intervals throughout history. Hear about what occurred in the 20th century and why the prophecy has not come to fruition. Sponsored by the College of Letters & Science.

The technologies needed to make advanced biological weapons are available from hundreds of commercial suppliers and academic laboratories throughout the world. Experts agree that such traditional Cold War strategies as treaties and regulation will be hard-pressed to manage the threat of advanced biological weapons. But if government regulation won’t work, why not enlist the commercial and academic communities involved in their making? This seminar will describe how the Goldman School is helping one such community –- synthetic biologists, who use artificial DNA to create designer organisms –- take practical steps to make their field safer. Sponsored by the Goldman School of Public Policy and the School of Law.

The powerful federal government we know today was not what the framers of the Constitution had in mind in the 18th century. This seminar will examine how the U.S. federal system was transformed, isolating major moments of change mainly since the Civil War. Sponsored by the College of Letters & Science.

Guess who just got back today?
Them wild-eyed boys that had been away
Windsor & Jack haven't changed, haven't much to say
But man, I still think them cats are crazy

Weekday evenings global VOIP BTIP meetings. Gonna have 'em.

==
Well, the requests have been rolling in from around the globe - either
can't get enough BTIP, or, is too bizze on the weekends (school's in
session, school's out of session - can't win(!)) - Can't get NE BTIP!

- Well, at least a request rolled in from Colorado - Hi CLUE! :)
[Actually, straight out of NOVALUG too.]

So, anyway, it's been one of the things I'm trying to make time for in MARVELOUS YEAR 2!

This is where U come in: U get to help decide _when_ the meetings should be! :)

And, furthermore, you get to help name the event. Personally, I got
enough "Free" in my life. Free Software. Freedom Software. Free
Speech Cafe. OK, no problem.

So, ya know, many of the weekday Linux/Unix/PyGames/ScriptingBOFs are
bar/pizzaplace/Chinesefood kinda things. I get the picture. ;)

They were asking if you were around
How you was, where you could be found
Told 'em you were living downtown
Driving all the old men crazy

==
Oh, yeah - times - that might be useful. ;)
I propose: three hours. Two? Do I hear one?????
Lets say, if it was just 1, it should be
5-6PM Pacific = 8-9PM Eastern
Ok, & if people want it more than 1 hour, we can add some on.
Flexibility - the key to not getting a strained muscle.

==
So, now, the heavy lifting: When should the meetings be?????

There are several lines of thought here:
1) Same day every week - consistency rules!
2) A fixed # of days after the weekend meetings.
3) Some kind of flexible, agile, hippie Berkeley kinda do your own
thing, wow, let's all get naked down in People's Park kinda thing.

Me? I'm just a square. I go right down the middle. Sittin' on the fence kinda guy: I propose we use option 2.5:
1st Monday
2nd Tuesday
3rd Wednesday
4th Thursday
5th Friday - if there is one.

===== JOIN FOR THE START OF YEAR 2 GLOBAL MEETINGs:
We had a great first year. We had local attendees from around the San
Francisco Bay Area & Northern California. High School, College,
Grad Students, & working & retired people attended.

From the US, people joined the meeting (IRC or VOIP) from Hawaii to
Virgina, Washington to Michigan to Florida. (+ California & other
states.)

In May Richard Stallman joined the global meeting for Q & A about free SW & HW.

== YEAR 2 FOCUS: COLLEGE LOCAL MEETINGS, & AMERICAS´ ANNOUNCEMENTS.

Two main things I´ll focus on this year:
1) Inviting groups to join at colleges & universities - BTIP is
educational. My hope: if more students learn about free SW hw &
culture, some of them will then go on to become _contributors_. :)

2) I´ll try to get monthly announcements out to the biggest LUGs in the 10 largest countries in the Americas.

== What would _YOU_ like to accomplish this year? Email the BTIP mail list, say ¨hi¨, tell us about your interests, projects & desires.

===== PEOPLE ARE TALKING:
Chris said: the meeting went very well for Feb. 7.

Windsor said: I am interested in Jack's
idea of focusing a group on promotion of Linux as a desktop operating
system and targeting perspective Linux users. I'm enthusiastic about
doing something to this effect, like hosting an install night, standing
in Sproul Plaza near a card table, etc..

David said: the USB headset I ordered and will
pick up at the post office tomorrow -
Markt9 (from virtual lug) told me that it was a very nice one. I can't
wait until I get the chance to try it live.

& Windsor says: I posted some guidelines for people editing the web
page. Also, (and I'm not trying to be a kill-joy) I think the smilies
should be left in IRC and private e-mails. Every time I see one on the
site I think of myspace.com or icanhazcheeseburger.com.
